Quote from acronym:
Cesko, your full of crap.
Bono himself, repeatedly, has stated no political figure would listen to him, not that they do, were it not for the fact his band has more media clout that most nationalist propaganda campaigns.
That makes his band, (not that edge, clayton or mullen would agree its bono's band) worth more than dodo's laying eggs of pure fissile plutonium.
And as you say, he might not be busy surviving-but the majority of artists are.
And he's still an artist, U2 is a rarity, succesful artists with something to say, are about as rare as idol contestants with original material.
I could'nt listen to billy bragg's tuneless, meandering moaning's any more than the next guy, but U2 are not billy bragg.
Thank f#ck for that.
If I am a politician (living off tax revenues) and knowing about Bono's tax -avoidance moves I am gonna listen politely too and think fuck-off idiot and that's where it would end. They listen and do nothing for the most part (newsmax mag.)
Regarding Bono's sincerety, I am too old to believe in just "words".
